Microsoft And 343 Industries Partner With Steven Spielberg For Live-Action Halo Television Series

Steven Spielberg appeared in a short pre-recorded statement to announce a live-action Halo television series. It's unclear what Spielberg's role in the show is exactly, but he spoke about how excited he is about video games as a medium of storytelling, and professed his appreciation for the Halo franchise in particular.

343 Industries is directly involved in the series, and the success of the Halo web series, Forward Unto Dawn, influenced the decision to expand the show into television.
